The fee to compete is $10 per participant. Participants will receive a traditional race packet and a commemorative race T-shirt that can be picked up at the Field House Sports, Fitness & Aquatics Center starting Monday, Sept. 7.

All proceeds from the 2020 George Bridges Virtual 5K Run/Walk will benefit the Special Recreation Services of Northern Lake County - Waukegan, helping individuals with disabilities participate in camps, athletics, health and fitness programs, and more.
